Arab media sources are reporting that the Gaza escapees spent nearly half a billion dollars in only 2 weeks in Gaza (via Sandmonkey), To put this into some kind of context, US consumers hit a new record week for the December Christmas shopping spree by spending 4.7 billion in online purchases in one week. Considering the size of the US population and how intense the Christmas shopping season is and how accessible internet shopping is, they still only spent 9 times what the Gazans did. That's a whole lot of cash for sure.

In Israel Olmert reacted to the Winograd report in the same expected way, by pretending that everything is now over and blaming Halutz. Like it was any surprise that an air force derived man would focus on using air power over ground assaults. The real question was why Olmert was at that job and the answer lies with Sharon and Kadima.

The Terrorists meanwhile hit a new low by using mentally retarded women in suicide bombings. I suppose after tricking a retarded 12 year old into being a suicide bomber, using a suicide baby in Pakistan, a pregnant woman and a grandmother as suicide bombers, they held a conference and tried to figure out how much lower they could go and they did it. Thank you, religion of peace.

Over at Israelly Cool, Aussie Dave reports that Tom Lantos appears to be the only Senator still standing up to Fatah and calling the PLO mission out for its mourning for terrorist mastermind George Habash.

“I am astonished that the PLO’s representative to this country would make such an asinine comment and would actually have the temerity to call on Americans to come to his office and sign a ‘register of condolences’ for this vicious individual,” U.S. Rep. Tom Lantos (D-Calif.), the chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Commitee, said Tuesday in a statement. “How disgusting.”

Habash’s group pioneered airplane hijackings in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Via LGF meanwhile, Obama has plans for a Muslim summit, as the global Caliphate moves one step closer.

Reuters reports that if Barack Obama becomes President, he’ll hold a summit with all leaders of Muslim countries:

“Once I’m elected, I want to organize a summit in the Muslim world, with all the heads of state, to have an honest discussion about ways to bridge the gap that grows every day between Muslims and the West.”

A Muslim woman suing a salon owner for refusing her a hairdressing job because of her headscarf has more than doubled her claim for damages, after allegedly receiving hate mail.

Bushra Noah, 19, from Acton, claims Sarah Desrosiers, who runs the Wedge salon in King's Cross, behaved in a "high-handed, malicious, insulting or oppressive manner" by discussing the case in public.

She claims this caused media intrusion in her life, harassment and hate mail, and left her feeling "awkward and embarrassed". As a result, Ms Noah, who is suing Ms Desrosiers for religious discrimination, has now raised her claim for damages from just over £15,000 to more than £35,000.

Lionheart update: Interview regarding application for asylum in the US by pro-Israel Christian blogger on YouTube at http://lionheartuk.blogspot.com/2008/02/interview.html

Watch it before it's banned. Any reporting of an asylum application would be acutely embarrassing for the British Government, and to a lesser extent the US government. State agencies will attempt to gag, cover-up or distort the facts on this case. Please give it maximum publicity.
